if your business relies on paying your employees below that and you have the rest of the tax payers substitute that by having to pay your employees food stamps or whatever, then you need to figure out how to be better or close.

and I do have employees, they earn about 3 times the minimum wage in this country
when I was 18 I started working with a construction company.... I was earning top pay as a heavy equipment operator... running a scrapper, make $3.75 per hour, same as all the other guys... (we did works 60-80 hours a week though) that was in 1973... those guys are the last guys to work a job and support a stay at home wife, family and buy a home.... minim wage was $1.45... pretty much 1/2 top scale I guess... what happened? 'Arab oil crises'
